I thought he did a great job. It was a well called game and the players were all executing well. Hines has been neglected lately also. You have to find touches for him every game as well. No excuse especially with WRs down.
I would not have gone for that one 4th down, would have kicked a field goal. But that’s him and the jets weren’t going to rally in time.
That leads to my biggest criticism. I feel like his failed 4th down tries can supply the other team with momentum. And this defense seems to fall apart the more passing the other team does. Part of managing a game is also making sure to not supply the other team with a jumpstart if they are struggling. And that is something we don’t seem to control well. When you watch a practiced veteran coach like Belichick, he does all he can to make sure you have trouble digging out of a hole. Pin you back with punting, stifle you with smothering defense. We don’t do that especially with the cushion coverage in our prevent. We also let up too early in that game.
